Club Hedonism in Pompano Beach — is it still active?
We heard about Club Hedonism (Club Hedo) in Pompano Beach. Supposedly it's been around since 1974? Is it still operating and active, or is it past its prime? How does it compare to Trapeze?
Best Answer
Club Hedonism is still operating and yes, it has been around since 1974 — one of the longest-running lifestyle venues in the entire United States. That's 50+ years of history.
Here's the honest assessment:
Pros:
- The crowd is loyal and tight-knit. Regulars have been coming for years or even decades.
- It's more intimate than Trapeze. Smaller space means you actually talk to everyone.
- Less expensive than Trapeze.
- The long history means the community self-polices extremely well. Everyone knows the rules.
Cons:
- The facility shows its age compared to newer venues.
- The crowd skews older — mostly 45-65. If you're in your 20s-30s, you might feel out of place.
- Smaller and less flashy than Trapeze. No jacuzzis, no big dance floor.
Compared to Trapeze: They're very different experiences. Trapeze is the big, flashy, high-production nightclub. Club Hedonism is the old-school, community-driven, intimate venue. Think of it like comparing a trendy new restaurant to the neighborhood Italian spot that's been there for 50 years — both are great, just different vibes.
If you appreciate history and community over flash, give Hedo a visit. It's a piece of lifestyle heritage.

My wife and I are in our 50s and Club Hedo is our home base. We love it because we know everyone and the vibe is comfortable and unpretentious. Trapeze is fun for special occasions, but Hedo is where we go when we want to be among friends. Different strokes for different folks — literally.
